A COTTON MANDATORY FOR AUSTIN.

Attention is called to a card from the
Farmers Alliance of Travis county, pub
lished this morning. This card is an invi-
tation to the citizens of Austin to take
hold of an enterprise of great Importance
to the farmers of all this section, and that
will also result in much pecuniary advant-
age to Austin. At the meeting of the
cotton congress, at Waco, in May last, it
was decided to establish four large cotton
and wooden manufactures in Texas. The
farmers of Travis county are very anxious
to have one of these manufactures
located In Austin, and their action yester-
day and the bid they make this morning
for the people Of Austin to meet them
half way in this excellent effort, speaks
well for their earnestness and should
instantly find an able and effective second
Austin. What is done must be quickly
done. For a representative of the Al
lance will be sent from Travis county to
the convention of the Farmers State
Alliance that meets in Waco on the 2nd Of
August, whose duty it will be to report or
this proposition. That convention
will determine upon the location
of those four projected manufactures,
and their decision will be final.
Austin is asked for bonus of $1,000 0
and a suitable site upon which to locate
the buildings of the factory.
According to Mr.. Breubnd's Of
fer, $4,000 may be considered
to be now on hand. This still leaves
100000 and o site to be provided by July
80, upon which day the Alliance of Travis
county must have the report from the
city. Here is work for that business
committee. They should not hesitate a
moment, lest this chance slip Austin, and
some other city of Texas gain the
mandatory that would be such benefit
to Austin. We have been bidding for
foreign capital to come in and help us
out, to build railroads and manufactures.
Here our own neighbors, those who help
bear the taxes of the county, come to us
and offer half the money if we will raise
the other half. Ii there ever was fair
proposition made we think this is one.
Austin should not rest, or let that business
committee rest, until this 100000 is
subscribed and that building site secured.
Let work be begun at once, lest the Both
comes before this subscription is an as
sured fact.

of that party. The subjoined editorial Is
exceedingly mild, MS it does not want
to start an alarm, but its JOY and self
graduation are very evident, and the edi-
torial can be read with profit by that
anomaly, called democratic prohibition
lists.
"a democrat, writing about the prohibit
ton campaign in Texas to southern
paper, declares that lit will be piece of
remarkable luck if the matter ends in the
simple expression of popular preference,
and does not bring about dangerous
breach in the democratic party Most
of the sensible people throughout the
country who read the papers have been
convinced for months past that this can
vass would bring about a dangerous
breach in the democratic party of that
state. In fact the breach has already
been brought about. At this moment
such conspicuous democratic warehouses;
as Senator Reagan, ex-senator Maxey,
congressman Hare, Culberson, Lam
ham, and ex-CongreSsman Herndon
and Welborn, are ardently in favor of
prohibition, and are, or have been re-
Gently, stamping the state in aid of that
cause, while other equally conspicuous
democratic warehouses;, such as Governor
Ross, ex-Governors Ireland, Throckmor-
ton and Lubbock, and Congressman Mills
aud Kilgore, are actively and enthusiastic
ally fighting against prohibition. Texas
has never been torn up on any other po-
lltical question since it became a state of
the union as it is at this hour on this one.
In the canvasses in which democrat was
arrayed against republican the result was
always known at the beginning of the
campaign, but in the present one, in
which democrat Is arrayed against demo
crat. all the old political prophets are ''at
sea-" although the prospect is that in this
campaign, at least, prohibition will be
beaten. But the most pleasing feature of
the canvass is the certainty that the state
will be benefited by this gitation,whethe
prohibition succeeds or fails. AS a result
of the canvass the democracy will be
weakened, their political opponents will
be strengthened, and hereafter there will
be two parties in the state, whereas here
tofore there has virtually been but one.
This change will ultimately repay Texas,
even in purely monetary and industrial
sense, tenfoid for the money and time ex-
pended in the campaign"

ILLEGAL ENCLOSURE ENDED.
The new land law has not been in for

The new land law has not been in force
month. Yet it Is evident from
the prompt manner in which the
western cattle kings are coming
forward to comply with its pro-
visions, that the purposes of the act will
be thoroughly accomplished. Hitherto,
under the old law and the loose rulings of
the land board, the dukes of the Panhandle
had it all their own way Hardly less than
million acres of school, university and
asylum lands we're for years illegally &C.
cupied, fenced in and used, in de-
fiance of the law and the state,
without the payment of nickel. The
school fund and the children of Texas
were literally swindled out of many hun
dreds of thousands eof dollars annually,
which went into the pockets of the dukes,
these gentlemen, in some instances, re.
siding on the other side of the Atlantic
While this peculation was going on Attor'
ney general Templeton announced that il
was impossible to execute whatever virtue
there was in the old law on account OF
alleged corruption of the courts in dis
tricts where illegal enclosure of land was
practiced. Prosecutions were attempte:
toward the close of Governor Ireland''
term, but the defendants were viz
tually their own Judge and jury, ant
simply laughed at Templeton and the
constituted authorities of the state.
Now the laugh comes on the other side
Whatever the short comings of the
Twentieth legislature, it made a master
stroke in the present law, as all can now
see. In section Is, of the new law, it is
decreed that any owner of stock, mana,
ger, agent, emPloye or servant, who
shall fence, occupy, use or appropriate
the school, University or asylum lands
without lease thereof, shall be punished
by fine of 800 to 81, OOO, and imprisonment
from three months to two years, for every
day of the continuance of the offense

penalty is made mandatory. The strength
as we'll as the justice of this section will
be admitted.
Again, the new law orders all unlawful
fences aud enclosures of school lands tC
be taken down within sixty days from the
taking effect of the act. The gov,
ernor, upon information of illegal
enclosure can direct the attorney-gene-
raj to sue for recovery of the
land and damages. Upon application OF
the encouragement, writ of sequestra-
ton shall issue, to be executed by any
sheriff, for taking such lands into his GUS
tody, subject to the orders of the court.
And here is the pretty part of it. If the
sheriff is resisted in taking possession, the
law authorizes calling to his aid such mill
tary force as the state can command, and
this to be furnished by the governor.
It is plain that with these provisions
and an executive back of them, like Gov
ernor Ross, who will stand no fooling, that
illegal enclosure of the children's land anC
the swindling of the school fund in this
state are things of the past. The barons
and dukes of the Panhandle must toe the
mark. Evidently they intend to do so and
avoid trouble. Illegal enclosure is ended.

CARLISLE AND RANDALL.

One of the most notable points IN THE
STATEsMAN's interview with Congressman
Grain, printed yesterday, was that distin-
guished gentleman's views on the proba-
BILE course of the democratic party in the
next session of congress, as well as i'll the
approaching national canvass. Mr.. Grain
thinks there will, in congress, be a COM
promise between the Carlisle and Randall
wings of the democracy, and practical
elimination of the tariff from the
canvass of 1888, as national issue.
A compromise with Vandalism, and a
"happing" together of the two factions
of the democracy in congress, or in the
next national democratic convention, is
an event not less improbable than their
compromise in the platform of 1884, on
which Cleveland was elected. But that the
tariff, affecting such vast interests, touch
ing as it does the pockets of the great
body of the people, will be lost sight of,
and supplanted by prohibition as an issue
in 1883, cannot be- accepted as true with
out much more proof than Mr.. Grain
has furnished. No doubt, the republicans
and the millionaire manufacturers of New
England would be especially pleased to
see the democrats drop the tariff as an
ISSUE because there is growing tendency
in some of the western states, hitherto
strongly republican, to fall in with the
democracy and It's ideas of tariff reform,
and not only in the west, but in some of
the eastern states, also. But, if the ma
tional democracy goes back on tariff
reform, it can no longer count
on the undivided and hearty sup
port of the solid south. That has
for the last twenty years been the chief
tie that has bound us to the northern
democracy. Deliverance from the in
famous and prodigious robbery of the
agricultural states by the manufacturers,
through high protective tariff, has been
the chief object we of the south have
been contending for, and we have stuck to
the democratic party for that purpose.
This is why the solid south elected Cleve-
land. 1t is for this reason we propose to
work for democratic success in 1888. But,
if the fight is not to be for tariff
reform, then the support of the south
for the national democracy cannot be
counted on as a certainty. We might
even accede to compromise with Mr..
Randall-practlcal republican though he
is-as we did in 1884. But the democrats
of the south cannot, and will never, con.
sent to the abandonment of the tariff, as
an issue, nor to surrender the principles
of justice heretofore held by the demo.
cratic party concerning the high pro-
lection iniquity.

GRAINS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

Congressman Grain, in his interview
published in to-lay's STATESMAN, men
toned the amendment he wants en-
grated on the national constitution, pro-
viding for the converting of congress in
January instead of December, and then
having it so arranged that those repre-
sentatives elected in the fall will take
their seats in congress after a lapse of
two, and not as it is now after thirteen,
months. This plan would bring to-
gether body of men right fresh
from the people, and men who will not
have had time to forget the pledges made
by them to an anxious constituency. I'm
der this amendment it is also proposed to
have two long, instead of a long and a
short session of congress. Congress
would then always adjourn sine die upon
joint resolution passed by both bodies,
and not as now once every two years at
fixed time, whether all the business is
uuplel6u VI HOJ' L MS WOulu also 90
viate to very large extent pocket vetoes,
as congress could remain in session until
the president had acted upon all bills sent
to him.
As it is now, December is a month
wasted, for congress meets but
to adjourn for the Christmas holidays.
They are really in session during that
month only about two weeks, and those
drag uneventfn!ly along, and so plain is
the FESTIVE haste of all for the time of ad-
journment to come that, seemingly, no
thought of active work is entertained.
The proposed amendment, devised by our
talented Texas representative, has in it
many very excellent features, and it should
be offered to the votes OF the people, as
we think it would be we'll considered aud
by them adopted.

they are-and only mention it as an il

THE EN-, AMPMENT.

Those active in trying to get up an
interstate encampment, to be held in
Austin next spring, give the most encOur-
aging report of the success thus far met
with in their efforts. A general meeting
will be called some time this week and an
organization effected to properly work
the matter up. Such an encampment
would be glorious thing for Austin, and
she must have it. Nor, is it too early
to begin active work to that end.
Montgomery has been advertising
its interstate encampment in the
spring for some time, and some
military companies of this state are now
practicing for that drill. The young men
at the head of the present movement nean
business, and the citizens of Austin, if
they will only meet them half way, can
be assured of large encampment IN the
spring, first class in every particular.
